I'm going immediately after work.

I go by the saying "If you didn't vote, then don't complain.".... and I love to complain.

Remember your employer will give you an hour off to vote if you can't get to the polls any other way.

I, for one, am a permanent absentee.

I thought it was 2 hours?! I hope my boss doesn't find out!!!

At our office - it's two hours.

http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/elections_tov.htm

"Employees are eligible for paid time off for the purpose of voting only if they do not have sufficient time outside of working hours to vote. The intent of the law is to provide an opportunity to vote to workers who would not be able to do so because of their jobs."

"Employees can be given as much time as they need in order to vote, but only a maximum of two hours is paid."

Basically - an employee is not required to give you time off if you can vote before or after work. For example, it takes me 5 minutes to get home. By the time I get home, it's 4:10 (I work 7-9). I still have time to vote. As a result, my employer does not need to give me time off. However, if I work 8-6, and my commute is 2 hours, my employer is required to give me sufficient time off so that I can vote.

Employees are eligible for paid time off for the purpose of voting only if they do not have sufficient time outside of working hours to vote. The intent of the law is to provide an opportunity to vote to workers who would not be able to do so because of their jobs.

Voting hours are from 7am to 8pm.

Employees can be given as much time as they need in order to vote, but only a maximum of two hours is paid.

Employers may require employees to give advance notice that they will need additional time off for voting.

Employers may require time off to be taken only at the beginning or end of the employee's shift.

$&%&%&*

I voted for: !@#$#^$&

Hahahah
J/K, Just playin' around

 

[Balgie]

I have an absentee ballot with no presidential nominees. I belive it is because I am not registered Blue or Red? Is that how it works?

 

[funman1]

Yep that's how it works
If you want you can go to your pooling place and get a special form that will let you vote Dem or Lib I think.
But Repub will only let you vote repup if you are registered repub in California

 

[airinhere]

I voted.

 

[mike1962]

Cast my vote Today!

Cheers to everyone who participates!

 

[RasBobre]

Waiting for my wife right now at our polling place.

I have not missed an election of any type since I turned 18, 27 years ago.

 

[MandM]

We had to vote absentee. Our area has less than 250 registered voters even though it is a busy suburb. Pretty sad.

Either we have a lot of apathetic people or a lot of felons. :lol:
